Chapter II LESLIE'S QUE8TI0N LESLIE HARRIS had never mar ried, to Miss Julia Pratfi keen and continued disappointment. About the time of the birth of the Stlmeon twine she had gone to Kan eaa City, and aa the local paper put It, "accepted" a position In Kansas Clty'a largest department store. There, to New Concord'a amazed surprise ahe had In Ave or all yeara worked up from a humble clerk In the basement to the assistant to the head of the department of women's wear, and twice a year went East with the buyer to help select gowna and frocks. All of the feminine half of New Concord who could afford It, except Jane Stlmson, bought their gowns and frocks from Leslie aa a matter of course. It was decided that this not Inconsiderable patronage was responsible for Leslie's success. How else could a simple little dear like Leslie have attained to such business eminence? Leslie, as a dressmaker's daughtor, had Imbibed a natural pat ter about lines and colors and styles from her babyhood and ahe did know how to wear her clothes, but of course she was not really clover. It was said that she made seventy dollars a week, but New Concord did not believe this. How could she? Not half the professional men In her home town made so much. , Leslie continued to spend every other Sunday with her mother and father. She came one warm April afternoon to bring Minn Julia Borne yellow and lavender tulips. "Seems like your flowers always do bettor than mine," Miss Julia grumbled as he arranged her gift in a vase, "even though you're not here to look 'after them properly." "They know how much I count on them," Leslie laughed. "I tell them I cannot bear It In the city unions I know they're here bloom ing for me. And then of course Father does take wonderful caro of them. He's a better gardener than I ever was." "It's a tine thing for your father . . . for any man, digging and plant ing In the good wnrm earth." "It koeps him busy," Leslie said. Anil changed the subject A little luior she had drifted over to the table where the vase stood and by pulling a tulip here, loosonlng an. other there, had changed a stiff un happy bunch of suffering blooms to a lovely group that relaxed grate fully In the sunshine, i With her nose burled In the tulips, Leslie said, "Miss Julia, what's the matler with Jimmy . . . with James Stlmson?" "Matter? I don't know that any thing's the matter. What do you ESLIF2 turned and seated her-- self on the edge of the table, facing Miss Julia. "He's so changed. You must see It. 1 sat behind him In church. He looked so . . . so dispirited. And there aro such deep linos . . , bitter lines around his mouth. Is It Jane who's done this to him? Or what?" "I don't know. I don't think so. Jane's made him a One wife. Every one says so. 1 suppose the trouble Is. If there Is any, that we all ex pected too much of James In the beginning. He expected too much of himself. And now he's old enough to realize that he's Just . . . Just an other run of the mill and nothing out of the way. I dare say It hurls." "1 don't think that's fair, Miss Julia. It seems to be the fashion In New Concord to belittle every thing James does. He's only thirty- one or two snd already he's made a name ... a small name, hut a nome ... all over this section for his sound sense and tustworthlness and his real nnllHy ns a louder In court. Mr. Ktllsnn hears all the newspaper gossip. He says James has won cases that would do credit to any city lawyer of twice his age. And he'a made a living, a fine living tor a country town. Why then does New Concord laugh at him? Why do they dare refer (o him as 'poor James'?" "Because James doesn't value ' mself enough, I suppose. If a man SALES TAX TOKEN E OLYMFIA. Wfth., April 30 jp.

I only see him at long Intervals. And every time 1 can notice the change. Jane Is murder lng him by Inches. "Yes, I mean Just that. Iff noth ing short of murder to kill a man's self respect, his belief In himself. Miss Julia, can't you do something? Talk to Jane. Make her see that what she does to James she doea to herself. If James' lite Is a failure, Jane's life fa a failure, too. She doesn't seem to realize that, though It's so obvious. Someone must waka her up, point It out to her." "There may be something in what you say," Miss Julia said uneasily. "Jane Isn't always as tactful aa sha might be. Perhaps she doesn't han dle him Just right, though I know she means the best In the world." "And you will talk to her?" "I'll try. I'm afraid It will be dlf. flcult." Miss Julia went to call on Jan and as Jane had expected her they had tea In the back parlor. Jan was In a good humor. It always pleased her to have an occasion to use her beautiful silver tea serv ice. Miss Julia In her embarrassment ate five sandwiches and a large piece of chocolate cake before she could gather courage to broach the subject which had Inspired her visit At last she put down her cup, pushed back her plate and plunged In head foremost. " IANE," she said, "I've come hera "to talk to you frankly about James and I'm Beared to death. I've been Interested In James since be fore he was born. It occurred to me the other day that we, you and I and all of us who love James, haven't been quite fair to him. Be cause we expected so much of hlra, oxpected miracles porhaps, we va got Into the habit of making light of the very substantial things James has already accomplished." Miss Julia went on to quote Leslie, enlarging on James' past and prosent achievements. Jane listened Impatiently, studying Miss Julia's embarrassed face curiously. "Certainly Jnmes has made a liv ing," Jane said, dryly, when Miss Julia paused. "So have most of the men of bis ago and condition. With the Judge to ptiBh him and his grandfather's name behind him I don't see bow he could have helped It. But I confess 1 oxpected more from Jamea than a bare living." "1 hardly call this exactly bare," commented Miss Julia tartly with an nppraiBlng glance at the richly furnished room. "You know perfectly well Father gave me thlB hnuBe. If I had to de pend on what James made I'd be living In a dump." "You'd be living In James' own house . . . one of the handsomest hotiBcs In town." "Yes, out In Nlggervllle with darkles for neighbors. No thank you." , "Jane, 1 didn't come her to quarrel with you and I don't mean to. I'm fond of you and I admire you. But aa an old woman twice your age I've naturally learned a tew things you haven't yet got around to. "One of them Is that men are a lot more sensitive and a whole lot more vain than women. If you hurt thnt vanity and that sensitiveness they never amount to much. Women are tougher. They can stnnd a good deal of beating. But a man can't . . . and be anything of a man." "Are you Implying that I beat my husband?" "Not consciously, my dear. But every time you remind him that your fnther supplies your luxuries It's a lash of the whip. And every time you say what you Just said to me, thnt If you were dependent on James you would be living In a dump, you make other people think leas of him. That's only common sense, my child. You've got plenty of common sense. Think It over and you'll find that I'm right." "Has Jnmes been complaining to you? Or Is It the Judge? That dod dering old idiot always has hated me. always has been Jealous of me. 1 suppose James whines to him and ho passes It on to yon." "You know how James was brought up? Fed wllh a silver spoon, waited on, deferred to like a little king." Copyright. 1MI, Mattel H. farnham) Tomorrow, J a mot brings homr Important ntwri to Jant.

Bo ex perusal of the prop menu re veals, and It la decidedly Incongru ous with the cafe setting unless the "popular prices" have something to do with the story of "Love Me For ever" (aa well they might). The story la about a gambler who plunges a fortune Into a swank cafe so that people can hear the .heroine (Miss Moore) sing. He loses money per haps because of the ..numerous 40 cent meals suggested but he doesn't mind, so long as people come to hear his artist in the kind of songs ahe wants to sing. His aim for her is: the Metropolitan. But more likely, the menu is like thst because only a portion of It w3l show on the screen, that part In large type at the bottom which says: "No service while La Marguerlta sings." Your reporter spent a part, of a morning on the cafe set waiting for the time when there would be no service, or rather for La Marguerlta to sing. The time came In fact It P-MATT?
